Not sure what to say?

Among my early experience with Rev. Kirk, was his obvious adoration of his wife and family. I wrote of such an observation:
The minister, sitting quietly in the background, as his wife's enthralling voice shares in music her heart's true life, gazes upon his daughter's lightly floating hands caressing the piano keyboard as she accompanies her mother.

I first experienced Rev. Kirk while giving services at a theatre. I wrote:

"Dear God, how good to see such faith,
To have Your love through him so near."
